hii!! <3
I wanted to ask u if u know how to deal with a bad grade? I always get good grades and am a straight A student, but recently I got a bad grade and it's effecting my self esteem and I keep worrying and stressing about it :((
i'm not sure if u already posted something about this, if so, I'm sorry and u can just ignore this >.<
tysm and no pressure 💞
(btw I love ur blog smm!! it's so helpful! 💗🫶)
DEALING WITH A BAD GRADE
1: SELF CARE
Dealing with a grade that was unexpected for you, or above your standards can be a huge hit to our academic confidence. So, make sure not to treat yourself harshly because of one grade.
DON’T BE HARD ON YOURSELF. I know it may not seem like it now, but receiving one below-average grade is not the end of the world or your academic career, nor does it represent your abilities as a student.
That being said, do not ‘punish’ yourself for a bad grade. I see that it's from a point of wanting to improve, but it’s more harmful to believe that overworking yourself will improve your grade.
VENT OR RANT. Whether you’re talking to a classmate, friend, or family or doing some way to document your feelings, just let it all out. It can be frustrating or stressful for us if we receive a bad grade, especially if we spend so long studying for it or it has a huge weighting.
DETACH FROM THE GRADE, just temporarily. I’m not saying forget about it, but just put it on the back of the burner and focus on the present moment. If needed, do some things you enjoy to relax and relieve your stress.
2: IMPROVING
Everything that you want to do after having a bad grade, to prevent that in the future and to reconcile your mistakes. Remember that improvement is only there if you commit.
LOOK FOR ERRORS. Were your study methods effective? Did you have instrumental understanding or rational understanding of the topic? Did you use your class time effectively?
If you do receive your assessment/assignment back, look for the mistakes you made on it. Write it down and practice those later, even if you aren’t getting assessed on it shortly. It is better to understand now than to be confused later.
ASK YOUR TEACHER. Ask them for feedback on the assessment, where you went wrong and how you can improve in the future. Listen to them, and apply what they say.
Or, if you’re someone who doesn’t want to talk to their teacher, ask your peers who have a good understanding of that topic or got a high grade.
REFLECT. Do you believe that this was the best grade you could’ve got, or were you able to work hard but just didn’t? Were there any externalities that affected your grade? How will you improve for next time?
3: FOR THE FUTURE
To make up for the bad grade, so it doesn’t affect your final one and to implement ways to make studying more effective.
BUILD GOOD STUDY HABITS. Flashcards before you sleep and when you wake, making your environment rid of all distractions and knowing what to do if you do not understand something etc.
CREATE A STUDY SCHELDULE/ROUTINE. This is so you know what to study, when to study, for how long and how to study for that topic. You do not want to go into study sessions unprepared, as you’re just gonna waste time.
SEEK EXTRA CREDIT. Participating in class and doing extra assignments are ways to recover your final grade from your last one. Ask your teacher about this.
4: MOVE ON. That grade is in the past, and you are in the present. Use that present time wisely, so you can celebrate all of that hard work once you get your success. Do not waste your time dwelling on it and forgive yourself.
Thank you for your support anonnie, it means so much to me.

Nobody asked but here’s my ins and outs for 2024:
Ins:
Self love (more of it)
Taking more pictures of myself/documenting my life
Start reading more (I’ve been in a reading slump, just got out of it)
Read articles for fun
Growing my intelligence
Go out more (without feeling obligated)
Finding my signature scent (still looking for it but I think I found it)
Never leave the house without wearing earrings or at least one piece of jewelry
Focusing on emotional intelligence
Outs:
Compulsive shopping
Only journaling when things are hard
Swearing (I learned English from a random woman who swore a lot because of that I tend to use them as filler words sometimes)
Self depreciation (cause I’m hot and sexy and need to do better)
Scrolling for no reason (now I’ll pick up a book)
Using “like” in every sentence
Overthinking (I’m actually doing good with this so far)

˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚ Study tips for u!
❥ these are tips I stick by and always try to apply while I’m studying for tests or exams !
❥ always try to start studying early, I usually start 3 days before a test and a week before an exam (can vary depending on material, how much time I have to study and how comfortable I am with it)
❥ if you don’t understand something, get help on it immediately!! Don’t wait until the day before an exam to start asking important questions!
❥ find a way of studying that works for you, ex: I usually write study questions for myself and reread them + have somebody ask me them
❥ try to limit distractions at all times while studying (put your phone in a different room and only listen to music like lofi)
❥ make sure to take care of your needs before studying or else you might have trouble focusing (make sure you’ve eaten, drank water and gotten an adequate amount of sleep)
❥ studying all night isnt an effective way to study. Even if you can’t cover all the material by the time needed make sure to prioritize sleeping because if you are too tired during an exam and forget everything or make stupid mistakes you could do more harm than if you had just gone to sleep instead of covering all the material
❥ related to the previous tip, wake up early to study. Go to bed earlier and get a good 8 hours of sleep then wake up early to study and review. This is more effective then pulling all nighters.
❥ make sure to take breaks when you feel you need to, if you can’t focus take a quick few minutes to breathe maybe eat something, try to avoid going on social media as this will distract you.
